Here are some basic templates for faenza-style icons. I only made one overlay (to be placed in the ovl dir). The rest should go into the bgd dir (as in the archive). One of these days I will have to do a new pikona without the image-magick dependency, since I now know how to do that by calling the gdk libs. It's on my list.

I compile and package apps even though they look like slackware packages
because of the *tgz but they are not slackware official packages (they are better because they were recompiled from source on my machine the "imagemagick package" )
since I use slackware based formats on TXZ_pup
these should run fine on any "puppy version" in theory
I added these for anyone wanting to test out your excellent program
(I only repackaged it so others could enjoy your great app!)

pikona-002a-4_SLXR.tgz

this has the new faenza templates
and I added all the fixes and I added an apple ipod template
called AppIconMask.png ,AppIconOverlay.png , AppIconShadow.png

requires one dependency its stripped down to 1.9 mb

extra only needed if you compile other packages requiring imagemagick

i used these with TXZ_Pup but you could use tgz2pet for the other pups._________________3.01 Fat Free / Fire Hydrant featherweight/ TXZ_pup / 431JP2012

Peace and Justice are two sides of the same coin.

I have rewritten Pikona, eliminated all IM dependencies and the binary is now about 29k. It should run fine on most recent puppies. Please see first post for details. More info is contained in the Pikona readme, which is accessible from the Pikona4 menu. The link is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=363580#363580.

I don't know why that should happen. Pikona creates the ~/pikona dir (/root/pikona in most puppies) if it doesn't exist and should dump its png output into that directory. Since it uses gtk/gdk and nothing else for image resizing and compositing, it is not a dependency problem, I think. Just for curiosoty, click on the Help buttion and see what the log file says. I am thoroughly as puzzled as you are and have not experienced that "feature" of Pikona.

i'm using lucid 528, and when i execute obect and save, i get a message saying the icon's saved in /root/pikona/ but there's no icon there?

any ideas?

cheers

vovchik,
Thanks for your efforts..this will be a fun tool to play around with once I get it working. However, I must report that I just tried your new version and am getting the same error the 666philb got. I used it in Dpup Exprimo. A log file appears in /root/pikona..but no icon.

I am sorry I don't have a debug mode so that I can see what its causing that weird behaviour. Pemasu - dpup extremo author - just posted in another thread and indicated that it worked. I am wondering what is going on - where is the icon being deposited, if anywhere? When you run Pikona, try opening /tmp/pikona in Rox after Pikona starts to see what files are being created. This might give me some indication as to the source of this odd stuff.
